Remember when I previewed most of this week’s Revolution Investing newsletter for you dear readers of The Cody Word on Tuesday this week? Here’s the full text of, as I’d titled the column, “Best smartphone trade of earnings season“: And finally, here’s a trade for ONLY big risk-taking, short-term, VERY aggressive traders. (We’re clear that [...]

Fast forward to today and Motorola posted its first year over year quarterly jump in revenues since 2006. Smartphone sales beat estimates by about 10% for the quarter. Motorola’s expecting to hit the “high end” of their previous guidance of 12 to 14 million for next quarter. Sound good to you? It does to the Street and it does to my subscribers, who are now up anywhere between 50-100% depending upon which “slightly out of the money, near-term calls on Motorola” they bought in the last 48 hours.

On the other hand, as any reader of this blog knows, I’ve been pounding the table on making sure you catch some of this incredible secular growth that’s happening in the app world. Sure, if banking implodes again because they can’t foreclose and have to eat their losses from the lending and also eat the securities that investors are going to be putting back to them, then demand for iPads might take a bit of a hit for a while in this country and maybe in Europe too. And sure, maybe if banking implodes again because they can foreclose and the price of housing craters again along with office real estate, then it’ll take a ten years instead of six years for Android to have moved its one billionth unit.

But then again, doesn’t that mean that Android will still have shown huge growth in the next ten years? Do we really think Google’s already priced in a billion Android units captured by ever-more-profitable Google ads? If that takes ten years instead of six, does that mean Google will crash from these levels over that decade?

But what’s the best case scenario for the banks again? Lots more welfare and taxpayer largesse and regulators turning their eyes on trading systems that game the systems for an ever larger piece of the average trader’s pie?
